There has been considerable confusion over the past few hours as
to whether the Senate -- which passed the National
Defense Authorization Act (FY 2012) -- included a
last-minute "waiver" to protect American citizens from some of
the bill's more outrageous and fascist elements, including the
right of the US government to detain citizens -- even those on
American soil, and not charged with a crime --
indefinitely in military prison. This means that
peaceful protesters could be rounded up, dishonestly labeled as
potential terrorists or "suspicious," and imprisoned for life
without a trial or attorney. This means that federal military
personnel would be patrolling our streets, literally signaling
the end of our free republic.

The offending section of the NDAA has been compared to the
internment camps the US government ran during World War II,
except this time around it will be Ron Paul supporters, Tea Party members, and
young Occupy Wall Street organizers in the detainment camps.

It doesn't matter if a last-minute waiver is in the bill; the
offending portions are currently worded so vaguely, that any US
citizen can be considered a "terrorist" or an aid to terroristic
activity. Any US citizen who is inconvenient to the US government
can be detained and silenced.

Also, the intent was extremely bad here -- Sens. John McCain,
Carl Levin, and Lindsey Graham INTENDED for this bill to redefine
the US homeland as a "battlefield" (Graham's words, not mine),
allowing the revocation of even our most basic civil rights and
access to due process.

When the intent is bad, an intentionally vague section of the
NDAA can be interpreted by authorities in the worst possible way.
The whole bill must be thrown out, except for key parts
to continue military operations and crucial funding of our armed
forces.

Let me remind you that this is not a drill. This
is not an inflammatory blogger's post. This actually happened,
and with the Senate's passage of this bill, it is very close to
becoming law. The US mainstream media is not covering this AT
ALL, as I pointed out in a recent column. The only
source for even remotely accurate information right now is on the
social networks, especially Twitter -- this reminds me of something you'd
experience in Iran or Syria, not in America.

The best CNN has done, for example, is to mention
there's been some "controversy" about new "detainee rights"
outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act.

The network neglects to tell its readers and viewers that
"detainee"
now means American citizen. This is
chilling. Americans now have the same rights as random enemy
combatants in Afghanistan. Your government is now treating you as
it'd treat a member of the Taliban. Congress has committed
treason against the American people.

Up until now, no matter how much (or how little) wealth you
had... no matter how much or little education and influence you
had... every American was at least guaranteed a freedom
from fear: your government could not come in the middle of the
night with military non-police forces, without charge, and take
you away.

If the National Defense Authorization Act clears the House and is
not vetoed by President Obama, that will no longer be true. None
of us will be safe. And you won't be given access to a trial or a
lawyer.

The media is not telling the public about this bill, which means
you have to, before your right to speak out disappears. Tell
everyone. This cannot be allowed to stand. This is still
the United States of America. And any senator who voted in favor
of the National Defense Authorization Act in its current form
should be forced to resign from public office immediately.
They've crafted a bill that turns America's military against its
own people and suspends habeas corpus.
